Almost a Fire
Last Saturday night, near midnight,
bright light was noticed in the clothing
store OF Henry Toenniges, near the Della
ware bridge, in New Hope. The door was
broken open by some citizens of New
Hope, and some articles of clothing were
found burning. An oil lamp which set
upon the stove had cracked from the heat
and the oil had run over the stove and
down on the floor. The stove had the full
draft on and was hot, and the lamps
in different rooms of the dwelling connect
ed with the store were at full head. A lot
Of paper, &c, was also piled near the
stove. Ali the doors were found locked.
Mr.. Toenneges was at surprise party in
Lambertville, and did not return until 2
o'clock A. NJ. He thilks that the house
was entered shortly after he left home
and the fire arranged for. The citizens
of New Hope generally believe that the
fire was started by some one intimately
acquainted with the house.

The Now Hope nrurder case.

| Inc Now nope AAuEOSE ChSes
Nothing additional of special interest
has developed in regard to the killing Of
Charles T. Kitchin by Harry E. Gestys,
last Wednesday, an account Of which was
published in our issue of last week.
All kinds of rumors are afoat, but most
if not all Of them are imaginings of sem
sationalists.
Gettys, when searched by the Sheriff
upon his arrival at the Doylestown jail,
had in his possession 1910.
Gettys' wife visited him last Saturday,
but be would not see her. He also re-
fused to see some of his old friends who
called.
A post-mortem examination ofthe body
Of Kitchin was made on Sunday morning
by Drs. Closson aud F. w. Larson, of
Lambertville, and Drs. Thornton aud
Foulke, of New Hope. The bullet which
killed him had passed entirely through
his body and the second vertebrate, and
lay just inside the skin. The ball had
passed through his stomach about midway,
one inch below the heart and about one
and half to the right. The ball when it
was found measured six-eighths of an inch
in length and three eighths thick. The in-
ternal hemorrhage had not been very
great. The body had been kept in an ex-
cellept condition for four days by under
taker Stockton, there being no signs of
decomposition.

THE SCIENCE OF FEEDING.

The science of feeding is one of the
most important studies of the farmer.
By it he is taught how to make the
most of his feeding crops, and how to
spare salable hay by feeding straw
with such foods as oil meals, bran, and
other purchasable feeding stuffs, For
instance, one ton of clover hay con.
tains nine or ten per cent. of albu-
minoids, while a ton of timothy hay
has only fve-and-a-half per cent. of
these valuable nutrients. Now, clover
hay is always cheaper than timothy,
and usually fifty per cent. cheaper.
But further, if a ton of straw contain
ing two and two-and-a-hand per cent.
Of albuminoids is mixed with a ton OF
clover hay, the mixture contains pre-
cisely as much nutritious substance as
two tons of timothy hay. Hence
farmers should grow timothy for sale
and clover for keeping, and if one
should see a load of straw on the way
to the paper mill for 81 per ton he
should stop it and give $3.50 for 1t,
and so make S. to SIS on the opera
ton. This is how a farmer may make
a large profit out of a knowledge OF
the science of feeding animals, and 1t
proves the wisdom of the old Roman
philosopher and statesman who said +:
"The feeding of animals is the most
important part of agriculture.'-Ne"

Keep Them Busy.

During the winter months. when in
many poultry yards fowls are confined
to their houses for days together, it is
advisable to provide something to keen
them busy F.; otherwise they are liable
to get into such bad habits as feather
or egg eating. If the floor of the
house is we'll covered with straw, and
a handful of wheat, oats or corn raked
through it, you can keep a whole flock
busy scratching for what they expect
to, but do not often find. Some morn.
ing when you have a half hour to
spare, try this plan take IN apple or
small cabbage and run a strong string
through it and suspend it in the center
of the house about three or four inches
above the heads of the fowls. The
meeting will be at once called to order
and after all hands have had a look At
it and guessed what it is, some ventur.
some old hen will make a jump at if
and probably get.a taste, that will set
it to swinging, and each one as they
get a chance, will make a jump for ii,
without regard to where they will
come down very likely on some ones
foot, who will rise to explain, receiv.
ing in return a look which seems to
say "your jump next" If your fowls
do not keep busy until the last of the
apple or cabbage is gone, they are un.
like the most of their kind, and if YOU
do not enjoy more than one laugh over
the complication of affairs, you are
not easily amused.
We do not think there is any
method by which one can keep his
fowls busy and in health that is better
than the above, as it keeps them busy,
makes them industrious and gives
them the much needed exercise in
winter.

Take the average teacher in u
common schools. Will you find him
we'll versed in the of setting
a plow to do good work? Can he
harness a horse properly? Does he
know the best time to commence
blowing for the various crops? Does
he know what kind of tools are best
suited for certain kinds of work !? If
he don't know he should know. If he
had been taught these things while at
school, he would be at no less in Civ
ing the information. All says some
one his father ought to have taught
him these things. With the same
propriety some one else could say the
father ought to teach him spelling,
writing, &C., and dispense with a COM
mon teacher. Nc one supposes that
the farmer-father don't want his son
taught agriculture. The reverse is
true and is what he wants. We further
believe the father wants him taught
by some one that knows better how to
teach than he does. If he knows no
more, he should know better how to
impart it. This is the successful point
with any teacher. We are not all en-
dowed with a tact to teach. Much
the largest portion of the boys who at
tend common schools expect to get
their hog and hominy out of the soil,
and desire to find out how it can be
done cheaply and ~proftably. A
desideratum long felt, and felt nov
more than at any formerperiod, is the
want of a textbook On practical agri-
culture, for the use of common schools.
Where is the benefactor who will
undertake the task of writing it =? We
don't want it in the form of a botany,
a physiology or a zoology. 1t should
embrace everything incident to a farm
and be copiously illustrated. Teams
to wagons and plows, sulky-plows,
harvesters and mowers should all be
illustrated. They would be inviting
for the young agricultural student to
look upon. Familiar objects illus
trated are enchanting for the young,
and the old will not turn from them.
The young care but little for illustra-
tons; they cannot comprehend, or
never saw the real. A thousand such
books can be sold in each county in
North Carolina at a reasonable price.
